Vejo agora esse teu lindo olhar
Olhar que eu sonhei
E sonhei conquistar
E que num dia afinal conquistei, enfim
Findou-se o carnaval
E só nos carnavais
Encontrava-me sem
Encontrar este teu lindo olhar, porque
O poeta era eu
Cujas rimas eram compostas
Na esperança de que
Tirasses essa máscara
Que sempre me fez mal
Mal que findou só
Depois do carnaval
Desengano deixei a dor em casa
Me esperando
E brinquei e brinquei
E fui vestido de rei
E quarta-feira sempre desce o pano
Carnaval desengano
Essa morena me deixou sem ano
Mão na mão, pé no chão
Hoje nem lembra não quarta-feira
Sempre desce o pano
Era só uma canção que desse vontade
De tomar a mão e de cada irmão pela cidade
O carnaval esperança
Que gente longe vem na lembrança
Gente triste possa entrar na dança
Gente grande saiba ser criança
O carnaval, o carnaval
O carnaval, o carnaval
"samba bom" (1964)
